#140 Kabuto

Kabuto, the Ancient Pokémon. Though this Pokémon is now to be extinct, it had a hard shell that protected its body and is believed to have been a powerful swimmer.
– Ash’s Pokedex

Kabuto is one of the original fossil Pokemon. It’s kinda creepy if you actually look at its design; those creepy glow red eyes staring out at you from the dark void under its shell, and it has these grabby insect-like legs. This image of multiple Kabuto, from the anime, is nightmare fuel. It probably doesn’t look as creepy from above, with its fake eyes.

Stat-wise, it has good Attack and Defense, especially for a first stage evolution Pokemon. Though its typing of Rock/Water isn’t too good. It’s rather slow, but its ability Swift Swim can make it much faster on a Rain team.
